Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the WaPo story touting an unnamed official’s leaking of a “strikingly negative” draft progress report on the surge strategy

Garrett: “I once had an unsourced leak myself, but a doctor at the clinic on Sunset was able to treat it with an aggressive regimen of hot compresses and ciprofloxacin.

“It wasn’t until much later that I found out who gave me the damn thing — and I can almost guarantee you she knew what she was doing, having never really gotten over the one time she came off the set early and found me in her trailer, loaded up on airplane glue and hip deep in Melissa Sue Anderson.

“The vindictive little bitch.”*

    Off to do yoga.

    BECAUSE OF THE HYPERMASCULINE WEENIE BOYNESS!

  2. JD says:

    If the final report differs in a substantive manner from the drafts, then I have no doubt that the Dems and the Media will hammer him about it.

  3. Karl says:

    It’s a Congressional GAO report, not a report from the military. Not that anyone would ask why Congress required a report from the White House and then ordered up another from themselves.

  4. Sticky B says:

    If the trailer is trailer is rockin’ don’t bother knockin’.

    Where’s Shannon?

    Speaking of Weenie Boys.. Did you catch Leif on Ty Murray’s Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge ?

    He may have rode Melissa Sue Anderson like a big boy but he whined & quit like a little bitch after that bucking bull machine got though with him… Never got near a real one..

    Read yesterday the Iraq War costs $300,000 per minute. Imagine how much health insurance and college tuitions we could buy with that money.

    I wonder how much it costs to drool-proof a keyboard, greedy fucking bastards.

  7. Veeshir says:

    and hip deep in Melissa Sue Anderson.

    Aaahhh, now that’s an image I can appreciate.

    I’ll be in my bunk.

  8. Major John says:

    Ah, an “unnamed GAO official” – well, sure, who wouldn’t take that, uh, person’s word over the actual CG’s and AMB’s testimony…

    Bah.

  9. SarahW says:

    “unnamed GAO official”

    The Wapo said “government official”, but left off the GAO qualifier. Are there officials not in the GAO who would normally get to view draft documents?

    Thanks for the link to the NYT blog site, Jeff. I have now found heretofore unknown concentrations of sweet, sweet crazy. And people complain about this place being a monoculture…

    Someone needs to develop a Firefox add-on that will give a simple graphical preview indicating how totally fucking insane the site behind a link is when you hover the pointer.

  11. BJTexs says:

    Whoa, DrSteve, you ain’t kiddin’! Talk about teh hivespeak!

    Look at this from the comments:

    Everyone expects the Petraeus report to misrepresent the facts on the ground and this GAO report is exactly what we need to call the White House’s increasingly-deadly bluff.

    Note to lefties: what little credibility you may have gets exploded all to hell whenever you start an opinion with “Everyone expects (knows, sees, etc.)” The plywood panel blinkers of teh arrogance contained in that characterization will cause you to miss the rhetorical bus barreling at you from the right.

    It sure doesn’t speak well for the NYT when this is the quality and character of their commentators.

    This has been a public service announcement.

  12. Jeff G. says:

    Not that anyone would ask why Congress required a report from the White House and then ordered up another from themselves.

    A. So that they could have its draft findings leaked. B. So the press can present it as an opposing view to the one the military will be gussying up for us. C. …. D. OUTRAGE!

  13. JD says:

    Jeff G – They do not even need that. It is not like their arguments will be factually based. Fuck, they declared that we are losing the war, and the surge failed before it even started. This report is redundancy, which is what I expect from government.

  14. McGehee says:

    Fuck, they declared that we are losing the war, and the surge failed before it even started.

    Many of them are still rooting for “the brutal Afghan winter.”

  15. Kevin says:

    That don’t mean nothing, Miller. A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck. I know I do. Don’t you?

  16. The Ouroboros says:

    Oly: Hell yes.. I know I do…
    Lite: Me too…

  17. The problem point for studios will be the so called smaller movies. With such films it makes sense for the studios to release the DVD for these movies simultaneously or at the end of the theatrical run. That way the movie is still fresh. As an incentive to see the movie in the theater the studios and theaters should consider selling the DVDs for such movies at the theater before they are released to the retail chains. Some control mechanism should be brought into play ie. you must present your ticket stub…
